About this expansion

AuZtralia: Revenge of the Old Ones is a 1–5 player board game with an approximately 150-minute play time, set in 1932 on the desolate shores of a new world.

The would-be colonists have arrived to grow food for populations devastated by a war against the terrible Old Ones. Yet this land is not empty. It is the final lair of those ancient enemies who survived the conflict, and they are beginning to awaken.

At first, attacks from zombies, Mi-go, and Shoggoths appear random. As events unfold, however, it becomes clear that a controlling mind is directing these horrifying forces. In AuZtralia: Revenge of the Old Ones, one player can take command of the Old Ones, allowing the game to accommodate up to five players.

  • Control the enemy forces: Decide where to place the Old Ones’ forces and direct their attacks against the settlers.
  • Summon creatures from the void: Bring additional terrors into play to create even more havoc.
  • Unleash legendary horrors: Raise Nyarlathotep, call forth the Hounds of Tindalos, or possibly summon Cthulhu itself.

The Old One player does more than simply watch the creatures awaken: they actively shape the threat facing the human invaders. Meanwhile, the settlers must contend with a hostile land, a terrifying enemy, and the possibility that a hidden intelligence is coordinating the attacks.

With its war-ravaged setting, opposing forces, and Lovecraftian horrors, AuZtralia: Revenge of the Old Ones offers a way to experience the game with one player controlling the ancient enemy.
